Ho ho hoh~~~ This is my last piece of Christmas craft for this year, Frosted Jar Tealight Stand… time really flies like a rocket!!! 

DIY a Frosted Glass Jar Tea light Stand to decorate your dining table, especially during the holiday season. Adapt the method for other occasions.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

to all of you, my dearest friends and readers!!!! Wish you all the best in health & wealth 🙂

Welcome the new members of my table decorations, frosted glass jars with lots of stars on them. They also act as tealight or candle stand decorated with holly berries. To make the Christmas more aromatic…. I used pomegranate scented tealight and the candle has a white rose smell. They are going to give my house full of cozy warm Christmas aroma.

There are 2 ways to frost a glass jar, either it is temporary or permanent. This tutorial is using frosted window tint sticker, it is temporary and can be removed with heat when you decided to re-use the jar for other purposes. Unlike the permanent type which uses frosted cream to etch the glass or sandblast tool to roughen the surface of the glass hence to make it “blur”; using frosted window tint is safer, with no chemical or mechanical equipment involved, it is fast to prepare and easy to clean up.
